Reflection

1) Did this course meet your expectations? Explain?
* This course did meet my expectations! I learned a lot in this class that I can use in my classroom. I knew that Educational Technology was about integrating technology into the classrooms but i was not aware of the different websites that are out there that teachers can use to make their day a little easier!


2) Why do you think this course should be required for all ED majors?
* I think that it should be offered to ED majors but not limited to other students or anyone else. This class needs to be taught to everyone who will come on contact with technology and that's obviously everyone. Some teachers don't even know how to simply create a powerpoint presentation, technology is changing and continues to do so.

3) How will you implement technology into your future classroom?
*I would implement technology into my classroom as much as i can. When doing my ED 471 practicum in a kinder class, they are using a technological equipment called an ELMO. Even in kindergarten, they are starting! Don't wait until its too late to teach it to your students. I would use all the online websites that we learned about in class for everything that i can.

Overall, this class was awesome! If it weren't for this class, I wouldn't be aware of the online websites that are available for anyone and the best thing about them is that they are free.
